What reading level is Famous Paintings As Seen And Described By Famous Writers; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Botticelli was one of the most fervent followers of Savon- arola, and the picture was painted but two years after the burning of the Dominican and the downfall of that short- lived " Kingdom of Christ," which he endeavoured to establish in Florence, it is only reasonable to conclude that this vision of the triumph of the Redeemer was the flash of an imagination still inflamed with the fierce enthusiasm of those unforgotten days ; a reaction from a terrible disap- pointment ; a prophecy of th...e near fulfilment of his hopes.
It is also probable that such a man, convinced by the teach- ifng of the monk, that all his pictures, or at least all those inspired by pagan feeling, like the Mars and Venus^ in THE NATIVITY l6l Room I., were worthy only of the flames, should, as Vasari tells us, have renounced painting and fallen into distress.
In no way opposed to this theory that Botticelli should have painted this particular picture, nor even that he should have served, in 1503, on a committee appointed to select a site for Michael Angelo's statue of David.
